Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The ascend-docker skill allows AI agents to interact with and manage Docker containers. It can build Docker images from provided files, run existing container images, and execute commands within running containers. This enables automated deployment, testing, and management of applications packaged in Docker containers.
When to use it
- Automated deployments: Deploy a new version of an application by building and running a Docker image based on updated code.
- Testing environments: Quickly spin up isolated test environments using Docker containers with specific dependencies.
- Remote command execution: Execute commands inside a running container for debugging or maintenance tasks.
- Reproducible builds: Ensure consistent build processes across different environments by leveraging Docker images.
Key capabilities
- Build Docker images from
Dockerfiles - Run existing Docker images
- Execute commands within running containers
- Manage container lifecycle (start, stop)
Example prompts
- "Build a Docker image named 'my-app' using the provided Dockerfile."
- "Run the Docker image 'nginx:latest'."
- "Execute 'ls -l' inside the container named 'webserver'."
Tips & gotchas
- Ensure the AI agent has access to the necessary Dockerfiles and configuration files.
- The skill requires a running Docker environment on the host machine.
